Maryland.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-A special to the
Tribune from Baltimore says: "The defeat
of the constitutional convention by fully 49,
coo votes in the States, is the first severe re-
buke Senator German has received since he
has teen running the Maryland machine.
The Republicans and Independents opposed
the convention as unnecessary and as entail
ing an enormous outlay. The convention
would have cost at least 100000. The aim
of German and the smachine clique has been
to overthrow the upright judiciary of Mary
land and to accomplish other ends conducive
to strengthening the machine. From his
own party, as well as from the Republicans,
German has received a stinging rebuke. He
has been told that he has run to the end of
his line, and that while the people will stand
the ring" candidates being counted in at al
most every election, they will not submit to
having the best judiciary Baltimore city and
the State have ever had, overturned. The
Judges of the supreme bench of Baltimore
convicted the election judges, and purged
the registration lists of thousands of illegal
names. These are the reasons why the
"ring' wants to legislate them out of office,
and put in corrupt Judiciary the better to
serve their purpose. The result in the third
legislative district of Baltimore city, COM
prising several of the uptown wards. is a
surprise. Two years ago it went Democratic
by 1000. This time the majority is cut down
to 22O. The district elects six members of
the House of Delegates and one Senator.
The Republicans and Independents un-
doubtedly elected their ticket but were
counted out. The returns from precincts in
certain wards were held back until nearly
daylight, so that they might be fixed.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 10.-The official returns
make Jackson's plurality 9,661 against oveI
10000 two years ago. The Senate stands
Democrats, %; Republicans, 4. The House
stands: Democrats, IL; Republicans, 20; a
Republican gain of 10.
